Jack we could post the weather report nadinbrzezinski Jun 2013 #28

apparently the lamest attack is worthy in your mind MjolnirTime Jun 2013 #50

Surprised? He hadn't done anything except be 'not bush' in 2008. n/t Egalitarian Thug Jun 2013 #17

Actually, he had already started "doing things" in 2008... JackRiddler Jun 2013 #24

That FISA vote barely a month after he clenched the nomination should have been a clue to some. Beacool Jun 2013 #29

The alternative being HClinton's yeah! IWR vote. AtomicKitten Jun 2013 #68

Your opinion, you're entitled to it. Beacool Jun 2013 #83

True enough. But the relief and optimism were still present. n/t Egalitarian Thug Jun 2013 #53

Yep, you said it. Beacool Jun 2013 #27

Oh yeah riqster Jun 2013 #51

wrong again AtomicKitten Jun 2013 #58

And what were the 5 members in the Committee supposed to say? Beacool Jun 2013 #82

Weird how the term invitation and limited crowd size doesn't resonate here. peace13 Jun 2013 #30

I think it clearly resonates. JackRiddler Jun 2013 #32

Reminds me of what a Mexican reporter said of his visit nadinbrzezinski Jun 2013 #35

2013 was an *invitation only* address gcomeau Jun 2013 #31

Correct. So what does that mean? JackRiddler Jun 2013 #33

WHAT facts? gcomeau Jun 2013 #34

"It's pointless to awake a man who is only pretending to sleep." JackRiddler Jun 2013 #38

Oh joy... gcomeau Jun 2013 #41

Okay, then, your desired level: "Derpity derp derp derp." JackRiddler Jun 2013 #62

Well at least we've established your conversational capabilities... -eom gcomeau Jun 2013 #65

The fact that they decided to do an invite only event speaks volumes. dkf Jun 2013 #42

Really? gcomeau Jun 2013 #46

+1, nice pics too. nt ucrdem Jun 2013 #47

Very interesting. dkf Jun 2013 #49

Thanks for the sanity. This president had to receive a SS detail as a candidate because of nutjobs. Tarheel_Dem Jun 2013 #55

Your cite about Obama's approval rating is false reorg Jun 2013 #71

You might as well quote Zogby at me. You're quoting an online poll? And you obviously didn't.... Tarheel_Dem Jun 2013 #74

I didn't cite an online poll reorg Jun 2013 #81

Sentiment or not, you can't argue with REAL numbers. And I offer no "apologies" that you can't read. Tarheel_Dem Jun 2013 #84

you said Obama enjoyed an approval rating of nearly reorg Jun 2013 #87

"Still, an overwhelming 87% of Germans said they have "a lot" or "some" confidence in Obama". Tarheel_Dem Jun 2013 #88

Do you love this thread as much as I do?? Number23 Jun 2013 #92

Did somebody put out a sign? Where the hell do they dig 'em up? A drawer full of 'em! Tarheel_Dem Jun 2013 #95

They said this a year ago reorg Jun 2013 #99

Candidate Obama was AWESOME! Vanje Jun 2013 #36

Corporate Obama datasuspect Jun 2013 #40

And President Obama, though not perfect, is still A-OK. Gobama! n/t AverageJoe90 Jun 2013 #115

Talk about a manufactured issue. So the President can never have an invitation only event in a stevenleser Jun 2013 #45

Welcome to GD, Alex Jones edition. nt ucrdem Jun 2013 #48

I'd agree: If Alex Jones was a Democrat... JackRiddler Jun 2013 #63

If AJ was a Democrat he's be giving Hypocrisy Now! a run for its money. nt ucrdem Jun 2013 #73

Are those pictures manufactured? JackRiddler Jun 2013 #60

Creating a straw man will not help resuscitate your ridiculous attack on Obama. nt stevenleser Jun 2013 #64

If you were interested in reading, you'd know this is not an "attack on Obama." JackRiddler Jun 2013 #69

I have said nothing about the glass, DNC Guy. JackRiddler Jun 2013 #85

I was the one who mentioned the glass nadinbrzezinski Jun 2013 #86

I remember when the... one_voice Jun 2013 #93

This is not the DU of 2001, which is why we're seeing these god awful "IMPEACH OBAMA" banner ads.... Tarheel_Dem Jun 2013 #97

Indeed, the DU of 2001 was overwhelmingly against the Patriot Act Fumesucker Jun 2013 #100

I suppose you should have no problem posting a link to ONE DU'er who "loves the Patriot Act" tridim Jun 2013 #101

There certainly are a lot of DUers who defend the Patriot Act regularly Fumesucker Jun 2013 #102

No DU'ers love or like the Patriot Act. Period. tridim Jun 2013 #103

I'll apologize when DUers stop defending authoritarianism such as the Patriot Act and NSA spying Fumesucker Jun 2013 #104

Defend your original statement FS tridim Jun 2013 #106

Well it started some time because it's going on now and it wasn't going on in 2001 Fumesucker Jun 2013 #110

Lots of words and goal post shifts, but still no proof. tridim Jun 2013 #112

DU sucks today because there is a substantial cohort defending right wing policy Fumesucker Jun 2013 #113

No, it's because people like you construct armies of strawmen... tridim Jun 2013 #114

There is a huge argument going here on DU about NSA spying and the Patriot Act Fumesucker Jun 2013 #116

Fumesucker: "Now DU has a major contingent who loves the Patriot Act" tridim Jun 2013 #117

Yes I do, if you go to the wire defending something then you love it as far as I'm concerned Fumesucker Jun 2013 #118

Indeed, the DU of 2001 was a site for liberals JackRiddler Jun 2013 #109

Ah, talking points. JackRiddler Jun 2013 #108

First things first... one_voice Jun 2013 #111

You are kidding right? You can't be that clueless Peacetrain Jun 2013 #105

The interesting thing about talking points... JackRiddler Jun 2013 #107

Un huh .. Hmmm hmmm Yeah Right.. Peacetrain Jun 2013 #120

Fascinating. No indication you read before responding. JackRiddler Jun 2013 #121
